JAMAICA – Jamaica’s prime minister declared a widespread state of emergency on Tuesday to fight a surge in gang violence on an island with one of the highest murder rates in the region.
The state of emergency allows authorities to arrest people and search buildings without a warrant.
Similar measures have been imposed in El Salvador and Honduras recently.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness dismissed critics, saying in a televised address that his priority is to save lives.
The measure applies to certain communities in the capital of Kingston as well as six of Jamaica’s 14 parishes.
